The role of women in the modern socio-economic life of Ukrainian society is still underestimated. Gender issues are perceived superficially or ignored, and sometimes remain taboo despite the significant number of national and foreign research and publications, information sources and materials. Blindness to issues of the equal rights and opportunities for women and men is deeply rooted in the stereotypes and traditional views on the role and place of women in the society. The purpose of the article is to analyze the scientific and journalistic activity of Mariia Vernadska. She was the first woman who researched political and economic problems in the Russian Empire. She actively interested in the economic issues and processes in the country and analyzed them, and published a number of articles in the journal «Ekonomicheskiy ukazatel», edited by Ivan Vernadsky who was a notable economist and statistician in the first half of the 19th century. The distinguishing feature of her articles was the comprehensible writing language to present and explain the complex economic laws and principles of the genesis of the market economy. Mariia Vernadska used this method to explain the benefits of division of labor, technological progress, free trade, cost sharing and cooperation, road quality, etc. She also criticized the regulation of commodity prices and persisted in the abolition of serfdom explaining its economic inefficiency and backwardness. Mariia Vernadska espoused the ideas of classical political economy, mainly the principle of individual freedom. This basic principle was used by her for interpretation of the women’s labor, the role of women in the society, the women’s rights to pick and choose the activities. She paid special attention to the necessity and the value of the women’s work as a basis for the equality between men and women. She emphasized that it could be achieved due to the education and fighting prejudices against the shame of women's working.

The purpose of the article is to outline the role of Kharkiv in creation of the veterinary education system in the south of the Russian Empire, to highlight the achievements of Polish scientists in that process, and to popularize the knowledge of this aspect of the Polish-Ukrainian history as an example of fruitful collaboration between Poles and Ukrainians during the period of statelessness of both nations. At the beginning of the 19th century, Kharkiv became one of the first cities of the Russian Empire where foundations of veterinary education were laid. A special department was formed at the university: the Veterinary School, which later became the Veterinary College and the Veterinary Institute. During the 19th and early 20th centuries Polish scientists created a system of veterinary education in Eastern Ukraine. The most important role was played by Karol Wiśniewski, the pioneer of veterinary education in Ukraine as a whole, Napoleon Halicki, the first and long-standing head of the Veterinary College, and Jerzy Poluta, one of the authors of the plan for its conversion into the Veterinary Institute. Considering their great services, the Polish scientists deserve to be remembered. Their memory is preserved by the Kharkiv State Zooveterinary Academy, the main research and educational centre in Eastern Ukraine and heir to the scientific traditions initiated in the 19th century.

The article is about the role of Russian governors-general in the national outskirts of the Russian Empire. It attempts to substantiate arguments in favor of the thesis that they were given an important role in the development and implementation of the principles of outskirts politics, directions and methods of its implementation. According to the authors, this was facilitated both by the special status of the post itself in the vertical of power, and the specifics of the composition of executives, formed from among persons enjoying the special trust of the sovereign. Governor-generals prepared a number of drafts proposing their own assessment of the situation in the Empire’s outskirts and additional measures “to merge them with native Russia” in the 19th century. Sometimes these proposals went beyond the current policy, which is confirmed by the analysis of D. G. Bibikov and F. J. Mirkovich’s projects, which in the forties of the 19th century proposed to abandon attempts to attract representatives of the Polish elite to the imperial power and to concentrate efforts on supporting the Orthodox Church and protecting the rights of local peasantry. This approach is evaluated as a stage in the process of preparing a new course of imperial policy in the western provinces of the Empire after the January Uprising of 1863.

Abstract The nineteenth century was a time of beginnings for the cultural press, marked by the actions of personalities who actively participated in the development of this field, but often the involvement of women is less valued, compared to that of men. Therefore, we consider opportune a study focused on the cultural-journalistic activity of three remarkable ladies: Maria Rosetti, Sofia Nădejde, Cornelia Morţun, who had an important contribution, not only in terms of the topics they covered, but also through their point of view, reformulating the role of women in that era.

This chapter examines several divisive issues of the 19th century in which arguments based on natural law were prominent—capital punishment, property rights, the role of women, and slavery. These were highly salient political debates, and they were also issues that often arose in litigation. Participants on both sides framed their arguments in terms of natural law. By the later part of the century, lawyers began to wonder whether, if natural law could be invoked to support both sides of such hotly contested questions, it was too indeterminate to be used in court.
